Anything you save that is your own code (or a modification of existing code) that you wish to keep you should have in either the 'custom' folder or the 'include' folder. (and of course you can create your own subfolders within these)... the custom & include folders are never touched when you upgrade AB so your code should be safe.
I can't quite visualize what you say below... it may be because you are using an unpaid version of AB. It may not let you save charts & forumula's until you have a paid version.
I've been using AB for about a year now... I'm a former C# coder. It takes a while to get your head around AFL... but once you do, you can do pretty much anything with AB. TJ has created a phenominal tool for programmers for an unbelievable price. Bang for your buck wise nothing comes even close to AB.
Exactly, all the power is in AFL. So get coding!!!

I say yes, and then when I try to load the custom version, it seems to be blank. Should I create a fresh AFL script from scratch rather than modify a pre-existing one? Is that how most people do it?

I can get the two tickers split this way, however if I change the style of the chart as you suggest in step 2 below, it changes the style on both the top and bottom ticker. I would like to have candlesticks on the top ticker and line chart on the bottom ticker. How would I go about that?
